Go live in heaven!

(Baonghean) - I thought you were busy building a house or something this time?

- That's the plan, but maybe not, sir!

- Lack of money or not the right day yet?

- It was my children in Hanoi who called to stop me! Before, I was trying to find a piece of land near the road so I'd have a way to make a living after retirement, but now I'm scared!

Why should I be afraid?

- Oh, so you haven't been following the Bình Phước massacre of six people lately? Now, seeing a big house on the main road just gives me the creeps! There are only two of us old folks left at home, and if we happened to live in a huge house on the main road, with so many people passing by and staring, it could be a real danger…

- It's not just at home! Nowadays, just seeing a fruit knife is enough to send shivers down your spine!

- Two knives, six lives lost, that's terrifying!

- But thankfully we found the evidence, unlike the case of the four people in Tuong Duong, back home; it seems like it would be difficult to find the culprit then!

- It's true that nowadays, even houses on main roads are unsafe, and that's not the case even deep in the forest!

Evil is everywhere; you might as well go live in heaven, sir!

- Fortunately, the net of justice is vast, and eventually, every evildoer is caught. I have to admit, our police are really good; they find the culprit in every case.

- There are also cases that can't be solved, sir, and after 24 years, the investigation had to be stopped because the perpetrator left no trace. And that case almost wiped out an entire family; VnExpress just revisited it the other day, it happened in Nghi Xuan - Ha Tinh! There are also quite a few cases of wrongful convictions, miscarriages of justice, like the Nguyen Thanh Chan case, for example! I don't know when we'll get the 7.2 billion VND compensation for that wrongful conviction…

- Suddenly having a huge sum of money fall into your lap can be exhausting, no matter where it comes from. The case of Ms. Hong, the scrap collector, who found 5 million Japanese yen – wasn't that exhausting because of people's greed?

- Life seems tough these days, doesn't it? The poor sweat, but the rich often shed tears; everything is just a result of people's greed. I saw that movie "The Rich Also Cry," and thought it was just a movie exaggeration, but it turns out reality is much more horrific…

- Yeah, I admit life is really tough these days! It's as tough as a rich girl choosing a husband, because you never know if that guy loves money or you. There used to be a saying: "The scariest thing on the road is a tractor/ The scariest thing at home is your wife not saying anything," but now you're afraid of everything: the "road monster" called a bus, or you might accidentally get a beating for staring at some random guy...

- You're right, I especially love the idea of ​​"going home and my wife doesn't say anything"! Look at my "housekeeper," she's practically talking non-stop, it's such a hassle!

That's why there's this teasing riddle: "What animal eats little and talks a lot...?" It's so blunt, and it's unfair to the wives!

- Please keep your voice down, or my trellis of jasmine vines will collapse!

- Sometimes I just crack jokes for fun, but honestly, when something like this happens, there's no end to the tears I'll shed for my loved ones... These past few days, reading the news, I really can't imagine how the families of those massacred entire families can go on living, how they can get through such horrific trauma...

- Why are there suddenly so many cases of family massacres lately? It's like the "extermination of three generations" crime in the Le Chi Vien case from back then!

- Is there any punishment higher than the death penalty to punish those inhumane people, sir?

- That evil is visible to the naked eye. But there are evils – and it's more accurate to call them evils – that are invisible, and yet they aren't even called crimes! Meanwhile, it's clear they've devoured countless dollars of the people's hard-earned tax money. A former head of department at Vinashin bought 40 houses with corrupt money and lived comfortably outside the law for so long – the people are truly amazed by those who manage state capital! If that's not a crime, then what is it?!

- The amount of money embezzled is said to reach 400 billion VND, and that's just from those at the department head level! Amazing! I don't know why they bought so many houses! Those guys only deserve to live in one of two places: either prison or a tomb…

He's absolutely right!
